I was under impression that Phalsa grows in a very dry climate and wildly like in Gujarat. Remember in my childhood in Ahmedabad,vendors (ladies) would bring freshly picked berries in a tokri(basket) singing "Thande mithe phalse---- phalsa" It still rings in my ears! We used to make sherbet out of these ripe sour berries -Yes it's a tedious or say laborious process,putting all the berries in a muslin cloth and squeezing out the juice for the seeds are very hard. but the outcome was soothing--very cool and tasty. In this wooded area there were many trees (big and small ) with these berries.I did'nt observe in detail May be there were Dhaman and phalsa also! Is the phalsa tree flourishing in your farm Neil? I am curious. Regards, Bindu
